Flemish School, Circle of Paulus Potter Bull Drypoint and Red Chalk 17th Century

About the Item

Beautiful Flemish drawing from the 17th century made with drypoint and red chalk representing a bull in profile. This naturalistic drawing takes up the favorite theme of the painter Paulus Potter, treated in the manner of this one with an important precision of the detail giving to this work a great realism. Paulus Potter, (1625-1654) began to study the art of painting from his father, Pieter Symonsz Potter (1597-1652). Probably having studied. also with the painter Claes Moeyaert, he was recorded in 1641, as a student of the history painter Jacob de Wet (1610-1671). In the mid-1640s, he gave up history painting and specialized in painting animals in landscapes and peasant scenes. Under the influence of Peter van Laer, his animals become more monumental and his compositions more concentrated. His paintings from the late 1640s are characterized by their rustic naturalism In 1646, he became a member of the Guild of Saint-Luc in Delft, but in 1649, he moved to The Hague, near the studio of Jan Van Goyen, one of whose houses he rented until 1651. He married the daughter of a building contractor who made him known to the city's bourgeois elite. Although Amélie de Solms-Braunfels, patron and member of the Stadtholder's family, bought one of his paintings, the rustic subjects of his works did not appeal to some court aristocrats. In May 1652, he returned to Amsterdam. Impressed by his civilized manners and his refinement, the surgeon Nicolaes Tulp, that of Rembrandt's Anatomy Lesson of Doctor Tulp, ordered him to wear his son Dirck. Potter, who died soon after, of tuberculosis at the age of 29, was to have a great influence on artists who painted landscapes far beyond the beginning of the 19th century. All his life he has focused almost exclusively on bovine subjects and will have achieved perfection in their representation. 17th century Flemish school Visual: 9.44/7,48 With frame: 15.35/13.
